You call this winter?
This morning actually feels like Winter-- really to be honest it feels like Fall. Not that I'm complaining mind you-- this is one of the key reasons we were so excited about moving to Texas-- Winters that feel more like Fall!
The grass is always greener isn't it, though? There have actually been moments where I missed the shocking cold-- you know when you open your front door and the cold air is so biting that it literally takes your breath away. Although, on New Year's Day when I took my dog out for a walk and I was wearing shorts, it was a sweet moment! I think I might have actually broke a sweat!
To be really honest, the only thing I really miss about Winter is wearing winter clothes. You all know black is my favorite color... and turtlenecks and sweaters are my weakness. So this morning when there was a slight chill in the air, I grabbed the opportunity to wear a sweater without feeling like a displaced Yankee. Yes, there have been other days when I wore appropriate winter clothing only to be walking next to someone at the mall or at the movies wearing shorts and flip-flops! I guess that will just take some getting used to!
On the home front-- we have a couple of buyers who are now interested in our house! One of them has looked at it three times, the other twice. Please pray that one (or both if you're feeling generous) of these people makes us a solid offer. It has now been seven months in the apartment and it's getting tight!!
Father, thank you for loving us in all seasons. Help us to find grace and peace in the moment-- each and every one. Amen.

I was whining about winter clothes and the weather just last night. I like to wear my sweaters too, but I am very hot natured and it was 70 degrees here yesterday!!
Glad you are back (again). Will pray for your house to sell.
Blessings to you Skipster!
I love hiding deep down in a nice fluffy sweater...but somehow flip flops never enter the mind...hmmm
(...you said 'fall'...teehee)
I caught that "fall" mistake too! Boy - Texas sure does change people, huh?
I'm praying that there's a bidding war over your house! :)
Yep, that word AUTUMN should be reserved for the northern states, down south we just have FALL
I wore a sweater today, too--there's just not been that many opportunities--so I am glad we took advantage!
A bidding war over the house sounds just delightful to me, too!
Thanks, all for the encouragement!! You guys ROCK!!!!

Skip,
I came across your blog by reading the comments on Brandon's blog and seeing "Skip" and wondering if it was the same Skip that lived with Colin in college.
As I scrolled through your entries and found Deannie's name it confirmed my assumptions.
I have no idea of what you guys have been doing since I saw you last, but I'm glad you're in Texas. My family and I live in Ft. Worth and still go to Richland Hills Church of Christ...still sing on the praise team with Colin, and Christi is still cutting my hair. If you're not in touch with those guys, I know they would love to hear from you. (I'll mention that I "stumbled" on you.)
I look forward to reading more on your blog and please tell Deannie "hello!"
Blessings,
Beth (Collins) Plemons
P.S. Please visit my newly opened blog to check out my 3 kiddos...I love 'em to pieces!
Had the Peoria folks to church on Sunday. They're looking for help w/Praise Team stuff - they were asking about you guys! I know you're busy, but KIT as much as you can! We miss you guys!
Miss you Brother! But you're INSANE if you miss Winter. :-)
What's the latest on El Houserino?
Skip? You there? Miss you, bro!
